In a Titan I laugh at anyone that uses smoke aside from obscuring vision at long range vision because you charge at me with smoke you've given me a free kill.

Charging with smoke is my current tactic along with burst fire 40mm and rocket salvo. Seems to work most of the time.

Yes please. Send a party invite.

EDIT: Lol these stats are crazy, 83/93 games in the Top 3, 43 times MVP. What is it about Titanfall that makes me "okay" but in CoD I came last place each time?

Does anyone else feel like this game is rather light on content. I've started to see a few people say this online. That there isn't enough levels, enough stuff to unlock and it is pretty light on the amount of titans. As well as the pretty lackluster / short campaign that doesn't even feel like a story or something that is very complete.

You are the only person on the internet that feels this way.

loving this game so much. never prestige in COD but almost 40 in 2 days with this (thanks to being off)

smoke is def the best. drop it and run watch the guy die in the buzz. Love strider, hate ogre. Mixed between cannon and machine gun. car smb is good, although carbine is prob the best and shorty is great too. thats whats so good about this game - so many good options.

rifle and 3 burst guns need buff though - agree?

You charge I dodge back, side or basically anywhere I know is safe. Vortex anything you fire and shoot you down, because well you have no defensive capabilities as you sacrificed that for the smoke. Easiest pickings in the match. Maybe a core. maybe...

Oh, totally. But it's the studios first game. People who say this is a CoD killer are basically on crack - there isn't enough content for that.

Stops you from seeing what there's an origin and radius of smoke so you know where to leave it. You can easily avoid smoke. It won't do shit to a Titan that has even a rough idea of a map.

In a Titan I laugh at anyone that uses smoke aside from obscuring vision at long range vision because you charge at me with smoke you've given me a free kill. The only time that isn't case is my knowledge of the area is too great and you manage to trap me against a wall extra which is fuck all. That or my positioning was god damn awful .

If your able to avoid the smoke you can avoid the nuke, it's very easy to avoid the smoke, so you just wasted a titan (unless you were already doomed).

Charging to use smoke is risky which is why it's better to come from a angle a titan not facing or when they are focused on a enemy to deploy it in the area. Nuking the titan early is a waste which is why I only detonate if low health/doomed or the enemy team is bunched up at a choke point fighting other titans.

Have you guys played the map "Rise" yet? Its cool, its like this weird pit in the middle of a desert with a lot of verticality. Somehow it kinda reminds "the pit" from Halo3.

Finally managed to download the update and get online... this game is awesome.

Edit: Holy shit, I've been playing for 3 hrs, and it felt like more like 1.

I use smoke for retreating and flanking.

Well it's pretty hard to vortex me if you can't see me behind the smoke. If I don't see my crosshairs indicating hits through the smoke, I don't fire.

Which why I don't feel it's worth it. Even then unless the guy panics and has no wiggle room he can dodge out with not much damage and he can shoot you down because his defensive capabilities are far better than yours. Also such an opportunity is rare unless you choose not to fire your weapon as they'll generally have a rough idea where you are.

All that risk for what? maybe a kill (very rarely ) while lacking the means to defend yourself. With a proper specialised team it can work, but without that it really doesn't seem worth it.

Give it time. I personally have no desire to ever touch a COD again after playing TF. Nothing will "kill" COD... people will buy it by name alone. The competitive crowd will remain there as well as those more concerned with unlocks, ranks and customization than fun, smooth gameplay.

What if he's a ogre rocking shield core... thats some decent protection. Sometimes all it take is a good few dodges and shield core and you can easily knock down a vortex user. ( i use both BTW no favs discovered yet)

Doesn't matter the vortex is just extra and mostly defensive I generally just gun you down the old fashioned way since you just broke rank and made for sweet ass full lock on. Kind hard to avoid locked on missiles when your in point blank range.

Everyone has their own style but yes I have a Stryder load out suited to this stratgey and I find a fun to attempt. I've pulled it off a few times. I'm sure as more people get experienced and accustomed to the game though it will be harder but it's just one of many tactics.

You won't generally have that until near the end or you have a sweet burn card. Either way it's a one chance thing you have that one trick. That tactic won't help you win the match more than sustained well used defensive capabilities or a well timed vortex which you can use often. The advantage you gained from that maneuverer is minimal.

I'm not saying you shouldn't do it it's game you play for fun sometimes it's more fun with less effective tactics.

I'm just saying if you try that on me I'll punish you hard.

I generally prefer Pilot combat versus getting in a Titan but Stryder is easily the most fun Titan to use. Trying to kite around targets taking pot shots is a blast.

I still like the Atlas for its overall balance but the Stryder is definitely the most fun to play. Trying to weave and dodge in CTF is awesome.

What do I have to do when I get the enemies flag & return to my base?

Captured the flag many times but nothing counts when I take it back to my base

I know its not Halo....

Your flag needs to be at your base for you to be able to capture enemy flag. Then just run to your flag post (flag point? however it's called), and that's it.

(if that's what you asked)

Yes they count but for some reason don't show up on the end game stats, it was the same in the beta.

If you go to Last Game Summary it is included with your other kills.
